Poor quality, didn't recognise the dual core (Intel)

I sincerely doubt that my processor is running at -11C.

Didn't work for me. Would be nice if it gave a general idea it won't work on older processors (P4/AthlonXP)

There's a supported CPU list on the developers website. It's not the softwares fault if you don't do atleast a tiny bit of research before installing it. The software is brilliant at what it does. Highly regarded amongst those wishing to push there systems to the max.

Quite compact, but with a few number of supported CPU (http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/supportlist.html). Hope it will be improved soon.

Well, 9.6 said my processor was running at -11C. 9.7 is closer (9C core 1, -5C core 2), but still outside the realm of the possible. Still useless.

Simply great piece of software! I was satisfied also with previous version and have no problem with it. Full stars...

NO SUPPORT for P4 single core ..

Speedfan is no fuss too, though provides temperatures for everything in your system that reports them.

Rated 10/50 by omertocarlos at Mar 14, 2008

Speedfan says my core temp. is 23C but this program 39C.

Rated 10/50 by tommyb709 at Mar 14, 2008

newest version says my core #1 is 13C, and my core #2 is 1C. PC Probe says 35C. Core Temp still not close.

best stand alone Core and Core2 temp monitor available. simple GUI, easy to use, log file output support, G15 keyboard LCD support. new version mainly adds better Intel 45nm support.

Seems to work great and is accurate for my X2 4800+ (S939). Perfect for making sure your cooling solution is adequate or even tweaking it further to minimize noise/cooling ratio especially with large after-market heatsinks. TDP: If you spend a lot of time designing your computer you should note the maximum heat used by the CPU and the minimum (idle). For example, my X2 4800+ uses a max of 85Watts but in idle uses only about 7.8 Watts (so 50% may be around 50Watts). For basic websurfing more efficient CPU's might use an average of 10 Watts which is great for internal heat and noise, however an NVidia 8800GT graphics card uses about 42 Watts in IDLE (Some SLI=4x100Watts=400Watts). This is one reason many love the ATI HD3870 which is slightly less powerful for most games but idles at about 18Watts. Most noticeably this reduces the Power Supply Unit's fan but probably also the graphics card. *If you are using this tool, it's worth finding the Idle/Minimum, Maximum power and other characteristics to optimize your system. Look into HybridPower by NVidia which has products coming soon. It can turn OFF the power to the addon Graphics cards (even 4xSLI) and use an efficient onboard solution. I'd wait for ATI's solution then compare. Sorry for the long post but I think some people will find it useful (the type that would use this tool).

For those that rate it down because it doesn't support older P4 Intel Processors, well it is called: CORETEMP not P4TEMP. Geez.... can't get anymore self explanatory than that. No need to rate it down for something you could have easily figured out by visiting their website or simply reading the name of the program. Also for those that are reading relative low temps in the teens, be sure you dont have CoreTemp set to show the difference between current temp and tjmax.

Good program all-around. Never had any issues. Those complaining about a temp difference between SpeedFan should do some research - SpeedFan generally requires a 15C offset because of the sensors it utilizes to measure temps.

........Too bad that I also have SpeedFan and vista x64 with no problems at all...... lol

Rated 50/50 by ninjeratu at Aug 22, 2008

I like this a lot! SpeedFan is more advanced, but Core Temp has a lesser footprint in my system. I also had issues with driver crashes in Vista64 which turned out to be SpeedFan's core driver. SpeedFan in Vista 64 is just a bundle of problems with driver signing. Core Temp works like a charm. Got an Intel Core family CPU and only want to see current core temperatures? Get this. Want advanced features and/or have an AMD and/or an older Intel CPU? Get SpeedFan.

Please make a VISTA-Version that doesn't require administrative privileges, so it could be run from startup folder. It's extremely annoying to get the infamous popup at every log on: Windows has blocked some start-up programs. Windows blocks programs that require permission to run when Windows starts. Click here to view blocked programs I tried to change the manifest. to no avail -DG

Works perfectly with my turion on 32 bit vista. No problems found, at least not yet. Release Notes: http://www.alcpu.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=562
